My daughter in law was so surprised. ( The gift was mainly for her.) She doesn't cook much, but she likes trying out new things and likes fresh things. You can't get any fresher than this. They also have two boys who are very curious and of the age that they would enjoy learning about and participating in the process. It was so gratifying to see the look of surprise and delight on her face.

I gave this to my 20 yr old son as a Christmas gift. He's made two half recipes so far and has really enjoyed doing so. It looks time consuming to me, but that does not bother him. The cheese has come out good both times, with the 2nd attempt being best. I am sure it will only continue to get better as he gets more experienced. I like that is is such an unusual item, which made it such an excellent present.
